I don’t plot and build or outline…I just get stuck in with what’s going on in my mind and sort it all out later.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
CS Lewis, JRR Tolkien and Terry Brookes to mention a few. As an English major in university, I read many different authors any of which have influenced me in one way or another.

I have several projects swimming around in my head. I have started a memoir of my life in America. I also have another fantasy novel started and I have idea for a couple more and a documentary on Lost River Cave.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I have three blogs at different sites that link to each other: WordPress, Webnode, and Blogger. I use google+, Twitter, Facebook, and of course Awesome Gang!

Take your time. Don’t rush your work and DO edit, edit edit before you publish.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Write, write and write. I can’t remember who said it though.
